Nanclares Y Prieto, Rias Baixas Albarino 'O Bocoi Vello', 2023
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
O Bocoi Vello' is not your typical Albariño. Aged in an old chestnut cask—a nod to Galician tradition—this wine from Nanclares y Prieto adds layers of spice, texture, and gentle oxidative nuance to the grape’s signature salty freshness.
The 2023 vintage is deeply expressive: citrus peel, sea salt, orchard fruit, crushed herbs, and a whisper of savory nuttiness from the wood. It’s broad on the palate, but still crackles with acidity and mineral grip. Wild, structured, and totally alive.
This is Albariño for the adventurous—less about bright fruit, more about earth, sea, and time. It's a must-try for lovers of natural whites, Jura fans, or anyone looking to experience Galicia in a more soulful, old-school light.
Perfect for: octopus, hard cheeses, rustic seafood dishes, or thoughtful sipping with good bread and better company.
